Shirley Scott

Famous quotes containing the words shirley and/or scott:

“The glories of our blood and state
Are shadows, not substantial things;
There is no armour against fate;
Death lays his icy hand on kings:
Sceptre and crown
Must tumble down,
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and spade.”
—James Shirley (1596–1666)

“F. Scott Fitzgerald thought that prolonging his adolescence would protect his talent.”
